Behind the Leash Paige + Ryan

Emily Modelevsky, owner and creator of Dye Hard Fan joins Paige and Ryan on the Behind the Leash Podcast to talk to us about how her side hustle started, how it's going and what lessons she learned along the way.

A true entrepreneur at heart, Emily turned a bleach mark on her Eagles hat into an online business. Using Instagram, a website and an etsy page, Emily creates custom orders for 'Die Hard' Fans across the globe. Shipping orders as far as the UK, word about Dye Hard Fans has spread quickly.

Recently, Emily announced her new Dog Sweatshirts on her Instagram page. Being a dog lover and dog owner herself, she started this line due to the fact that she was unable to find clothing for her dog that fit just right. Emily has teamed up with a local Philly seamstress in Philadelphia and together they can create the perfect custom tie dye piece for your pup.

From Friday, April 30 to Sunday, May 1 Tails and Ales Philly will be hosting an Instagram giveaway on their Instagram for 1 lucky pup to win a custom sweatshirt.

When it comes to time off, Ryan and Paige don’t know how to do ‘nothing’, but we do know how to have fun! Tails and Ales is always a topic of discussion at the dinner table but they keep the conversation light and enjoyable.

In this episode, Paige and Ryan tell you about River Twine, the largest Tiny House Hotel (HINT: It is dog friendly), the 5 breweries that are a 90 second OR LESS walk away and how you NEED to visit. They also talk about the plans they have for the rest of the trip and a few other things like Tails and Ales apparel while they sip on some local brews.

This episode was FUN! Seriously.

I loved everything about our two special guests, Shari Starr of Portfishington Pets, custom dog apparel located right in Port Richmond/Fishtown & Elizabeth Hasier, wedding and elopement photographer right here in Philly, too.

So how are these 2 connected? Well, Shari of Portfishington Pets creates custom sweatshirts, collars, bandanas, harnesses and more for Paul (@riskitallpaul), Elizabeth's Greyhound pup!

In this episode Elizabeth and Shari share the story behind their collaboration, provide insights into their businesses, and give genuine advice when it comes to their 'marketing strategies'.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these ladies and the amazing businesses that they have created. They are humble about their accomplishments and truly enjoy every second they get doing what they love- creating.

In this episode of the Behind the Leash Podcast, Paige and Ryan of Tails and Ales Philly, get to sit down and talk for 13 minutes (with all the dogs in the background) about their dog business plans and share personal advice for each other.

When Paige started Tails and Ales she never imagined it would be where it is 1 year later; February and March filled up, she is getting 7-8 new inquiries a week and has had to put meet and greets for daycares on pause.

Tails and Ales has been a lot of give and take when it comes to personal time off and focusing on individual growth for both Paige and Ryan. Weekend dinner talk is never complete without focusing some time on talking about dogs or our business and the vision for the future.

Tails and Ales is constantly in an upward movement of growth to ensure that we can continue to provide the best care for the dogs. We always have new ideas that we are waiting to share with our community and clients...like merch? parties? group hikes? The ideas are endless and hope we can let you in on some of these plans soon!

With that said, Ryan and Paige have a variety of passions that include the dogs (duh!), but also ones that are completely different and don't fall under the pet service industry. These passions are also worth exploring for each of them and ones that you may see pop up a little more often... but don't worry, we aren't going anywhere or sacrificing any of our dog days.

Laurie Baum, better known as the @the.knot.chick on Instagram, creates macramé pieces that will fill your space with positive energy. Her bio on Instagram says "hand knotted with love" and sincerely, she really does put her whole heart into every piece.

In this episode Ryan and Paige, co-hosts of the Behind the Leash Podcast, had the pleasure of speaking with Laurie regarding all the faucets of what she used to do as a side-hustle but took on full time during the pandemic. In this episode, Laurie opens up and discusses mental health, therapy and healing. All of this lead her on her journey that brought her to create "The Knot Chick", a hobby that she turned into a business.

Before you listen to this episode, you need to know that Laurie was one of the kindest guests we have had on the show. She was natural, fun, open and truly humbled. This journey that she is on, is one that she is thankful for. She doesn't take any order for granted and in fact appreciates every order more than you know.

Speaking as a co-host of the show and as the editor, this was an episode I had just as much fun recording as I did editing. Seriously, I started laughing to myself as I was cutting audio and was torn between what I should keep and what I needed to forgo to create a cohesive episode. ,
